“他因着信，就离开埃及，不怕王怒；因为他恒心忍耐，如同看见那不能看见的主 。”
希伯来书 11:27
“By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen.”
Hebrews 11:27
It’s possible that Moses felt like quitting when he encountered Pharaoh during the plague of darkness. God had hurled eight other epic disasters at Egypt, and Pharaoh finally exploded, “[Moses,] get out of my sight! Make sure you do not appear before me again! The day you see my face you will die” (Exodus 10:28).
Despite this threat, Moses eventually was used by God to free the Israelites from Pharaoh’s control (Hebrews 11:27). Moses overcame Pharaoh by believing that God would keep His promise of deliverance (Exodus 3:17).
Today, we can rely on the promise that God is with us in every situation, supporting us through His Holy Spirit. He helps us resist the pressure of intimidation and wrong responses to it by granting us supernatural power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). The Spirit provides the courage we need to keep going and to follow God’s leading in our lives.
Lord,
help me to keep my eyes on You when I feel upset by other people. Protect me, guide me, and help me to trust You in every situation.
